North, South Korea Hold Direct Nuclear Talks

Nuclear envoys from North and South Korea held talks Friday on the sidelines of the ASEAN security forum in Bali, in the first such meeting between the two sides since six-party nuclear talks collapsed in December 2008.

The South's Yonhap news agency quoted North Korea's nuclear envoy Ri Yong Ho as saying the parties agreed to work together to resume the stalled disarmament talks.
